Prince Fielder's 21st home run of the season and Corey Hart's three-run double highlighted Milwaukee's five-run seventh inning, and the Brewers rallied for a 6-3 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Saturday at Turner Field.
All six Milwaukee runs were charged to starter Tim Hudson, though Hart's three-run double came against reliever Peter Moylan. Hudson (9-5) lasted 6 2/3 innings and gave up six hits and four walks.
Milwaukee's rally made a winner out of left-hander Chris Narveson (8-6), who allowed two runs on six hits over six innings.
John Axford retired all four batters he faced, striking out two for his 11th save in as many opportunities.
Matt Diaz hit a two-run homer to give the Braves a 2-1 lead in the fourth, and pinch hitter Eric Hinske added a solo shot in the seventh.
Braves pitcher Jonny Venters and manager Bobby Cox were ejected in the eighth inning after Venters hit Fielder with a pitch. Both dugouts were warned when Venters' first pitch to Fielder sailed over his head, and the next pitch hit the slugger in the back, prompting the dual ejections.
After losing the teams' first four meetings this season, Milwaukee has won two in a row against Atlanta, sending the Braves to consecutive home losses for the first time since April 21-22 against Philadelphia.
